Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease—it physically reshapes the heart itself. Researchers studying ...

New research reveals that type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease, it physically reshapes the heart ...

In a heartbeat, cardiac muscle cells contract to push blood out to the body, then relax to allow the heart to fill again. This is possible because muscle proteins are organized into sarcomeres, which ...

Diabetes doesn’t just coexist with heart disease - it actively reshapes the heart’s machinery and the way it makes energy.

Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how type 2 diabetes directly reshapes the human heart, altering both its energy production and physical structure.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a previously unrecognized small protein in cells of the human heart that plays a key role in heart muscle contraction. The protein is made ...

Researchers have found that the heart possesses “sweet taste” receptors, similar to those on our tongues, and stimulating these receptors with sweet substances can modulate the heartbeat. Heart muscle ...

In a surprising discovery, scientists have found that the heart possesses "sweet taste" receptors, similar to those on our tongues, and that stimulating these receptors with sweet substances can ...

These receptors are more abundant in the hearts of patients with heart failure This new study is the first to identify specific "sweet taste" receptors, known as TAS1R2 and TAS1R3, on the surface of ...
